Mkt Cap — Market capitalization — the total value of all shares. Small = under $2B, Mid = $2–10B, Large = $10B+.

P/E (Price-to-Earnings) — Stock price divided by earnings per share. Low P/E (5–20) may mean undervalued; high P/E (40+) may mean overpriced or high growth expectations. Negative = company is losing money.
